The Tennessee Titans took some gambles but addressed big needs. Did they do it well? Grading every one of the Titans’ 2021 NFL Draft picks.

The Tennessee Titans needed to address the secondary in the 2021 NFL Draft. They lost all three of their top cornerbacks in free agency, some by choice and others not so much, and the lack of depth at the position was jarring.

However, they also needed a potential upgrade at right tackle after last year’s first-round pick, Isaiah Wilson, was an immediate bust. Moreover, they needed some help around A.J. Brown in the wide receiver corps.

Let’s see how they did at replenishing the cornerback spot and the roster as whole as we grade every draft pick for the Tennessee Titans.

Tennessee Titans 2021 NFL Draft Grades: Rounds 1-2

Round 1 (No. 22): CB Caleb Farley, Virginia Tech: A

I love the Titans’ selection of Caleb Farley. Looking at his 2019 tape; he very well could be the best man-to-man cornerback in this draft. He is incredibly sticky when it comes to staying on his man, and finding a guy like that doesn’t come easy.

His injury history caused him to slide but, if he stays healthy, Tennessee got a steal by taking him in the early 20s.

Round 2 (No. 53): OT Dillon Radunz, North Dakota State: A

The Titans needed help on the right side of their line and they got a really good tackle in Dillon Radunz. North Dakota state averaged 300 yards rushing in 2019 and Radunz was a big reason why.

Putting him on the right side of the line opposite Taylor Lewan will do wonders for Derrick Henry and the run game, in addition to giving Ryan Tannehill time to allow plays develop down the field.
